Observation of high-temperature quantum anomalous Hall regime in intrinsic MnBi${}_2$Te${}_4$/Bi${}_2$Te${}_3$ superlattice

Abstract

The quantum anomalous Hall effect is a fundamental transport response of a topologically non-trivial system in zero magnetic field. Its physical origin relies on the intrinsically inverted electronic band structure and ferromagnetism, and its most consequential manifestation is the dissipation-free flow of chiral charge currents at the edges that can potentially transform future quantum electronics. Here we report a previously unknown Berry-curvature-driven anomalous Hall regime ('Q-window') at above-Kelvin temperatures in the magnetic topological bulk crystals where through growth Mn ions self-organize into a period-ordered MnBi${}_2$Te${}_4$/Bi${}_2$Te${}_3$ superlattice. Robust ferromagnetism of the MnBi${}_2$Te${}_4$ monolayers opens a large surface gap, and anomalous Hall conductance reaches an $e^2/h$ quantization plateau when the Fermi level is tuned into this gap within a Q-window in which the anomalous Hall conductance from the bulk is to a high precision zero. The quantization in this new regime is not obstructed by the bulk conduction channels and thus should be present in a broad family of topological magnets.
